5. Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometers per hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly begins flying from engine A towards engine Bat 33 kilometers per hour. The instant it touches B, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collide and the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, determine the following: a. the total distance the fly flew b. the time it took till it was eliminated c. The average velocity of the fly
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
